/edit - This is why Windows sucks. No shutdown via RDP, incorrect versions, etc etc. whinge whinge.

Pro - It says it in the images I posted earlier
You can use techbench to grab the iso:
https://tb.rg-adguard.net/public.php
Site looks a bit sketch but the iso is legit. You used to be able to download direct from that link you posted but it seems to have been removed. It now directs me straight into volume licensing service center?
Im 99% sure I grabbed an iso direct from that link in the more download options just last week.

I've downloaded the iso direct from Microsoft but when I run setup, I get through and still get this.
So no, I have no other option. I'm screwed.
That is bizarre I have literally no idea, my apologies fella you do appear to have somehow ended up with some crazyness. Out of interest have you tried to download say 1803 and see if that does the same?

are you in a position
to use local group policy editor (gpedit.msc) to add restart,shutdown etc to
the start menu?
if not as mentioned earlier uup dump will let you pick pro and the exact version number too
rather than assuming microsoft will give you right one
which they clearly arent lol

No.
I'm fed up with this crap now, I've spent too much time on it already.
I'm just running the installer as I'm 100% certain the image has Pro on it. When I give it the product key, I hope it'll activate the correct version.

WTVF?
Windows 10 HOME???
I'm using Pro. I just used the Media Creation tool to download an .iso and told it Pro. It wants to install Home.
I'm losing the will to live.
Like a boss, when all else fails just go with it and see what happens
TBH I recon I would have done the same.

You're definitely not having a good day
Would it be a bad time to ask
What's the size limit on signatures
Mine explaining my Dyslexia
Just disappeared
But trying to find it in rules and faq is proving hard
Due to its in blocks of text a lot of it
Sorry to bother you when you feel like kicking something
But searching gave me no answer either
Oh for crying out loud. People wonder why I dislike Windows so much.
I've spent all day getting this set up using a Windows installer I downloaded from Microsoft yesterday.
After the above, I ran Windows update but it wouldn't update so I did it through the web site.
So everything I've done today has been wasted. I've got to recover the PC from the rack (it's headless) and plug a monitor, mouse and keyboard back into it so that I can effectively start again from scratch.
Pathetic, absobloodylutely pathetic.
You're not mixing architectures are you? E.g, if you have a 32-bit install and try to install over the top with a 64-bit install it won't be able to do it.
Are you using the update assistant? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Four lines of text. Yours was five.

Thanks very much
Didn't tell me when I did it
Least don't think it did lol
Will do it again
Fingers crossed you get your issue sorted this time
Something I read elsewhere;
Try downloading the ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 ("download ISO now") rather than the update tool.
Run the tool and save the ISO to your PC somewhere. Double-click it to mount it as a virtual drive then try running setup.exe from within in.

Download ISO now button no longer exists, microsoft have clearly recently stolen it now your only option is the media creation tool. If you don't have an msdn, volume license agreement etc then a straight iso from ms doesn't look possible?
Done that. It's no different. @Vince, it's done through the media creation tool. You get an option to save as .iso.
Anyway, I now have the latest version but I have another issue.
The hardware has a digital licence for Home. When I enter my product key for Pro, it says "thank you very much" and leaves me at Home.
I was on Pro before. The key I have is for Pro.
How do I persuade Windows to give me the version I've got a key for?
The media creation tool lets you create the ISO. I just downloaded the 1903 one and it still works:
I do have MSDN access though which is useful
